Chapter 494 522, Identity Exposed, Gambling! (Seeking Monthly Votes)
"Dad, can we talk about the marriage proposal?"
Seeing that everyone was talking about Li Manni joining Shanghai Satellite TV as a host, Zheng Dapeng was a little impatient. He leaned over to his father and whispered a reminder.
Zheng Dongshan frowned. After learning that Li Manni was a host of Shanghai Satellite TV, Zheng Dongshan had given up the idea of proposing marriage.
Because he knew that even if he said it, there was a high probability that it would fail, so why bother to embarrass himself!
"Dad, you saw the person, what a good girl!"
Zheng Dapeng did not give up and continued to talk in his father's ear. In his opinion, as long as his father took action, there was still hope for this matter. After all, his father's level was there. Even if Li Manni herself did not want to, her parents were always "sensible", and maybe they agreed because of the power of their Zheng family.
And once Li Manni's parents agreed to the marriage, it would be much easier. After all, Li Manni did not seem to be the kind of person who could disobey her parents.
Zheng Dongshan actually had a good impression of Li Manni. This girl was not only beautiful, but also a good wife and mother who could live a stable life. If she could really marry into their Zheng family, it would be a blessing for the Zheng family.
Based on this consideration, Zheng Dongshan, who had originally given up, suddenly wanted to give it a try again. Even if he couldn't succeed, he had tried.
So, Zheng Dongshan picked up the wine glass and took the initiative to toast Li Baojun.
In fact, Li Baojun's presence at the table was very low. After all, there were the birthday boy Kang Jingchun, as well as the young generation leaders such as Yang Hao, Li Manni and Huang Qing.
Even among the older generation, there was also Kang Zhifei, the eldest brother-in-law, so Li Baojun spent most of his time eating. In fact, he himself was a relatively low-key character, but he was always looked down upon by the Kang family before. This time, he showed off a little because of his father's daughter.
Therefore, Zheng Dongshan's initiative to toast Li Baojun surprised Li Baojun. After all, the two had different status and positions, and they had no intersection before today.
Not only Li Baojun was surprised, but other people at the same table also subconsciously looked at the two. Zhao Hongbo, who was a brother-in-law and had never taken Li Baojun seriously in the past few years, frowned secretly.
After Zheng Dongshan sat down, when Kang Zhifei introduced everyone one by one, he greeted Zhao Hongbo. Obviously, he did not take him seriously, but now he took the initiative to toast Li Baojun.
Zhao Hongbo subconsciously glanced at his son Zhao Xiaofeng and daughter Zhao Yanyan. There is a saying among the people that when you are a child, others' attitude towards you depends on the status of your parents, when you are an adult, others' attitude towards you depends on your own ability, and when you are old, others' attitude towards you depends on the status of your children.
Li Baojun is a typical example. In the past, as the worst relative, everyone disliked him, but now he is honored by his daughter, and even big figures like Zheng Xiangdong took the initiative to toast.
"Brother Li, I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want!"
Zheng Dongshan not only took the initiative to toast, but also drank the wine in his glass, which was considered to be giving the other party enough face.
Since the other party was so polite, Li Baojun certainly would not really drink a little bit, so he also drank the wine in his glass, and at the same time, he said a polite word with a relatively introverted personality.
In fact, people who look introverted are not really introverted. Some people are passively introverted because of inferiority, because speaking less is also a kind of protection for themselves.
Li Baojun belongs to this kind of passive introvert. Now that the family situation is getting better and better, and the careers of his daughter and son-in-law are getting better and better, his inner inferiority complex has gradually dissipated, and he is more cheerful than before.
However, his inferiority complex has been cultivated for decades, and it will take time to completely change it, but at present, being able to greet the other party politely after Zheng Dongshan's toast is already a huge improvement.
"Brother Li, let me ask you abruptly, is your daughter married?"
After chatting with Li Baojun for a few words, Zheng Dongshan asked straight to the point.
"Uh, which daughter?"
Li Baojun was stunned at first, then asked subconsciously.
Both of his daughters were present, so Li Baojun didn't know which one Director Zheng was asking about.
After hearing Zheng Dongshan's question, the people who were originally a little confused about why he took the initiative to toast Li Baojun suddenly understood.
The other party was proposing marriage!
However, everyone present knew the relationship between Li Manni and Yang Hao. If Zheng Dongshan really proposed marriage in front of Yang Hao, it would be embarrassing.
"I'm asking about Manni."
Zheng Dongshan replied with a smile. In fact, Li Manshu was also very beautiful, but his son was optimistic about Li Manni.
Besides, there was a little girl sitting next to Li Manshu. If nothing unexpected happened, they both had daughters.
A family like the Zheng family could not accept a divorced woman with a child.
Of course, nothing is absolute. If that woman is the daughter of a senior official, it is not impossible to consider it.
In today's society, not only women consider various indicators of men when choosing a spouse, but men are the same. If they can find a wife with a good family background, they can at least save ten years of hard work. If the wife's family background is particularly good, they may just lie down and live. There are also such examples.
"It's like this, Dapeng in our family has always been single."
"If Manni is also single, the two children can have some contact!"
Zheng Dongshan continued to say with a smile.
However, as soon as he said this, he found that the faces of the people in the Kang family changed, and their faces became strange. Many people glanced directly at Yang Hao.
Hmm?
Zheng Dongshan has been in the system for decades, and his ability to read people's expressions is very strong. He immediately sensed that the atmosphere was wrong and found the source.
No way!
It turns out that Mr. Yang is Li Manni's boyfriend!
I thought he and Li Manshu were a couple. The little girl looked like their daughter.
Zheng Dongshan, who felt something was wrong, did not wait for Li Baojun to respond. He laughed dryly and said, "It seems that I was abrupt. Manni should not be single."
"That's right. A girl as outstanding as Manni must have many suitors around her!"
"Brother Li, just pretend I didn't say it."
"Come on, I'll toast you another glass!"
Zheng Dongshan said, and raised the glass again.
Li Baojun silently picked up the wine glass and clinked it with his, then politely said: "Manny does have a suitable partner."
"But I still have to thank Director Zheng for his appreciation."
"I'm just asking casually."
"Manny is such an excellent girl, no matter who she marries into, it will be a blessing for the other party!"
Zheng Dongshan made up another sentence, and after drinking the wine in the glass, he immediately changed the subject and turned his eyes to Yang Hao: "Boss Yang, when I was at a meeting in the provincial capital, I heard a leader of the propaganda department say that the major shareholder of Hucheng Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group had changed, and the other party's shareholding ratio was very high, and it had reached the level of controlling the entire group."
"And that major shareholder happened to be surnamed Yang, I wonder if he has any relationship with Boss Yang?"
Zheng Dongshan decided to go straight to the point, after all, this kind of thing can't be concealed for too long. Hucheng Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group is a listed company, and the news of the shareholder change will soon spread, and it will also need to be made public online at that time.
Therefore, it was not too cross-border for Zheng Dongshan to ask this question.
After hearing his question, everyone's eyes fell on Yang Hao.
Some of these people have heard of the Shanghai Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group, but most people haven't, such as Kang Huimin, who heard about this group for the first time.
But Kang Huimin's mind works very quickly. The group that Zheng Dongshan, a big man, specifically mentioned must be a big group.
If Yang Hao is really a major shareholder of this big group, it means that his net worth is higher than she currently knows.
So Kang Huimin is of course very interested in this question. Kang Huifen and Wang Huixin have similar ideas.
Therefore, everyone's eyes turned to Yang Hao at the same time, waiting for his response.
Seeing so many eyes focused on him, Yang Hao smiled and took a sip of the wine glass in front of him, and then said slowly: "Director Zheng is really well-informed. You know everything about Shanghai, but this is not a secret. I did buy a large number of shares in the Shanghai Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group."
"At present, I am already the chairman of the Shanghai Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group."
Wow!
As soon as Yang Hao finished speaking, there was a commotion at the scene.
"Xiao Yang actually has a big company."
"It seems that we still underestimated Xiao Yang's worth."
"Isn't the Hucheng Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group very powerful?"
"Mom, don't you really know that the Hucheng Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group is the parent company of Hucheng Satellite TV? This group not only manages Hucheng Satellite TV, but also manages many media and related companies in Hucheng, such as local stations and radio stations!"
As a makeup artist, Zhao Yanyan usually pays the most attention to the entertainment, fashion and media circles.
Because only by paying attention to these circles can you grasp the first-hand makeup information and popular trends.
So, Zhao Yanyan knows the Hucheng Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group, and knows that it is a behemoth!
However, what she didn't expect was that Yang Hao, the "brother-in-law", has become the helmsman of this behemoth!
"As Mr. Yang, his net worth is probably over 100 billion!"
Xu Hongmei, Zhao Yanyan's boss, sighed. As the owner of a photo studio, she has been deeply involved in this industry for more than ten years. She has come into contact with many people from Shanghai Satellite TV and radio stations, and probably knows the value of Shanghai Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group.
Originally, everyone thought that Yang Hao's net worth should be several hundred billion. In addition to his status as a major shareholder of Shanghai Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group, it is very likely that he will exceed 100 billion!
Xu Hongmei felt that this trip was really worthwhile. Not to mention whether she could get help from Yang Hao in the future, she had taken several photos with Yang Hao while drinking last night, and added him as a WeChat friend.
In the future, she can brag about her photos with Yang Hao anytime and anywhere. If Yang Hao develops better and better, he will become an entrepreneur known by the people.
Xu Hongmei can even print out the photos of the two and post them in the store, so it is really worth it for her to come to attend the birthday party this time!
Zheng Dongshan nodded calmly. He had also seen all kinds of storms. Although he was still quite shocked when his guess was verified, he still looked calm on the surface.
"It is true."
"Boss Yang is really a hidden talent!"
Zheng Dongshan sighed. At the beginning, when he was facing Yang Hao, he still felt superior in status, but as they chatted, he found out that he was actually a super rich man with a net worth of more than 100 billion.
The total market value of Xiangyang Steel Plant is only one tenth of his net worth.
This gap is very scary!
That is to say, if Yang Hao wants to acquire Xiangyang Steel Plant, it is easy.
Thinking of this, Zheng Dongshan's eyes suddenly lit up. One of the things he has been worried about recently is to attract investment and find private capital to invest in Xiangyang Steel Plant.
However, there are very few private entrepreneurs who can come up with billions, not to mention that anyone who knows the business will not spend a lot of money to acquire shares of Xiangyang Steel Plant at this time.
Because the real estate market is sluggish, the construction industry has also continued to be sluggish, and Xiangyang Steel Plant has naturally been greatly affected.
So everyone in the industry knows that it is not a wise move to enter the game at this time, and those big guys who can come up with billions are of course very cautious.
But Yang Hao is different. He is in the entertainment industry and does not understand the steel industry. He is a pure layman!
When reporting work in the provincial capital, the big leader also mentioned that he could find cross-border investors.
The implication is: those people don't know the business and are easy to fool!
But the big leader can't say such words directly, he can only understand it, and Zheng Dongshan, an old fox, certainly understands what the big leader means.
However, it is not easy to find a big enemy who is stupid and rich!
In this case, Zheng Dongshan naturally thought of Yang Hao, and let the other party participate first, and the details of the cooperation can be discussed slowly later!
"Mr. Yang, can we talk further?"
"I want to talk to you about some work matters."
Zheng Dongshan stood up suddenly and said to Yang Hao with a smile.
It is obviously inappropriate to talk about work at this table. After all, this cooperation involves the future development of Xiangyang Iron and Steel Plant, and it is impossible for outsiders to participate in the negotiation process.
"Talk about work?"
"Do we have work to talk about?"
Yang Hao looked at Zheng Dongshan with some surprise. The other party was the director of Xiangyang Iron and Steel Plant, and he was in the entertainment and media industry. There should be no intersection between the two.
"It's just work."
"If it's not convenient for Mr. Yang now, we can make an appointment later."
Zheng Dongshan was very polite. He had already stood up and even sat back after listening to Yang Hao's words.
He suddenly realized that he was too active, and he would lose the initiative in the negotiation.
"Let's talk about it another day!"
Yang Hao shrugged lightly: "Today is not a good day to talk about work."
After saying that, Yang Hao picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew carefully.
